OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 8, 1921.

Application filed July 2, 1920. Serial No. 393,742.

To all whom it may concern:

e it known that I, VVILLIAM T. DAILY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Mount Calm, in the county of Hill and State of Texas, haveinvented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the following is aspecification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is a burnerand the invention aims to provide a structure of the sort abovementioned which may be fashioned at trifling cost out of stockmaterials, the construction being such that a thorough heating of thefuel, and conversion thereof into gas, will take place, before the gasis presented at the combustion orifices for ignition.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and toenhance the utility of devices of that type to which the inventionappertains.

lVith the above and other objects in view, which will appear as thedescription pro ceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope ofwhat is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the inventionshown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in side elevation, a deviceconstructed in accordance with the invention, the same being mounted inoperative relation to a top or caldron and a furnace; Fig. 2 is a detailenlarged from Fig. 1, parts being broken away; Fig. 3 is a cross sectionon the line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross section.

The burner forming the subject matter of this application comprises aU-shaped memher 1 including approximately parallel arms 2 and anintermediate portion 3, the arms and the intermediate portion beinglocated in a common vertical plane which is designated in Fig. 3 by thenumerals 4-4. The arms 2 merge into extensions 5, the extensions 5 beingapproximately parallel and projecting toward the intermediate portion 3of the burner. The extensions 5 are closed at their inner ends as shownat 6, and, as designated by the numeral 7 in Fig. 3 the extensions arespaced less widely apart than are the arms 2. The extensions 5 arelocated in a common vertical plane 88 parallel to and at one side of the2 are located. The extensions 5 are supplied with combustion orifices 9discharging toward the arms 2. A pipe 10 communicates with theintermediate portion 3 of the burner, the valve 11 being interposed inthe pipe. The fuel traverses the pipe 10, under the control of thevalve, and passes into the arms 2. In the arms 2, the fuel is converted,wholly or in part, into gas, the at the combustion orifices 9 andserving to heat the arms 2. Owing to the specific rela tion existingbetween the arms and the extensions, as delineated in Fig. 3 of thedrawings, the arms will be heated adequately, but, at the same time, theflames from the combustion orifices 9 will not be prevented fromascending into contact with any object to be heated.

The burner forming the subject matter of this application may be put toa wide variety of uses. For instance, if desired, the pipe 10 may extendthrough an opening 12 in a burner 14 supporting a caldron or wash pot15, the furnace having a stack 16.

he combustion orifices 9 may be filled with fine wires, as indicated at13. These bunches of wires serve to prevent the gas from escaping toorapidly. Stated in other words, they break up and regulate the flow ofgas. Again, the carbon, instead of clogging up the combustion orifices9, lodges in the wires 18. The wires may be removed readily and withthem, the carbon. Very often, it is not necessary to remove the wires,in order to remove the carbon. The wires may be shaken or jarred, whilethe burner is in operation. The carbon then will be loosened, and thegas will blow the carbon out.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is A burner of theclass described comprising a U-shaped member including approximatelyparallel arms and an intermediate portion, the arms and the intermediateportion being disposed in a common vertical plane, the arms merging intoapproximately parallel extensions projecting toward the intermediateportion, the extensions being closed at their inner ends and beingspaced plane 44 in which the arms gas burning apart less widely than arethe arms, the ex- In testimony that I claim the foregoing as tensionsbeing located in a common vertical my own, I have hereto affixed mysignature plane parallel to the plane in which the in the presence oftwo Witnesses.

arms are located, the extensions having coml/VILLIAM T. DAILY. bustionorifices discharging toward the arms, Witnesses: the intermediateportion being supplied with C. J. CARTWRIGHT,

a fuel inlet. C. N. MITCHELL.
